H. Moser & Cie. gives the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton a ceramic Alpine treatment

H. Moser & Cie. is leaning further into its Alpine Motorsports partnership with a Streamliner that feels more technical, more graphic and more track-adjacent than the steel and gold executions before it.

The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Ceramic Alpine Limited Edition brings together the brand’s integrated case language, a fully openworked tourbillon movement and an anthracite grey ceramic shell that changes the attitude of the watch immediately.

Limited to 100 pieces and priced at CHF 79,000 before taxes, it’s a serious collector’s watch with a deliberately modern edge.

At a glance

Anthracite ceramic changes the Streamliner’s character

The Streamliner has always been one of Moser’s most distinctive modern cases, with its softened cushion profile and integrated strap or bracelet architecture giving it a clean, aerodynamic feel.

In anthracite grey ceramic, that shape becomes more restrained and more technical at once.

The 40mm case measures 12.8mm thick including the slightly domed sapphire crystal, keeping the watch within wearable proportions despite the complexity inside.

Ceramic suits the Streamliner case because the design relies on continuous surfaces rather than hard visual breaks.

Here, polished and satin-finished areas create gentle shifts across the grey material, giving the case depth without adding decoration for its own sake.

The screw-down crown is engraved with Moser’s “M”, while the sapphire caseback keeps the movement visible from both sides.

Water resistance is rated to 120 metres, an unusually practical number for an openworked flying tourbillon in this category.

A blue skeleton calibre with Alpine energy

There is no conventional dial on this edition.

Instead, the architecture of the HMC 814 calibre becomes the entire face of the watch, with the bridges and main plate finished in vivid blue as a clear nod to Alpine Motorsports.

That blue treatment is the visual counterpoint to the anthracite ceramic case.

It gives the watch a much brighter centre than the case might suggest, and it also helps the openworked construction read as a designed object rather than a simple absence of material.

The open barrel at 12 o’clock and the layered skeleton construction allow light to move through the movement, which is part of the appeal of this version.

Legibility is handled by Globolight hour markers and three-dimensional hour and minute hands with Globolight inserts.

Globolight uses a ceramic base combined with Super-LumiNova, a fitting material choice for a watch already working with ceramic as a central theme.

The flying tourbillon and double hairspring

The one-minute flying tourbillon sits at 6 o’clock, where it gives the otherwise symmetrical layout a mechanical focal point.

Its skeletonised bridge receives the same blue finish as the surrounding calibre, keeping the lower half of the display visually integrated.

Inside the tourbillon is H. Moser’s double hairspring, produced in-house by sister company Precision Engineering AG.

The paired hairsprings are designed to counteract shifts in the centre of gravity as they expand and contract, supporting improved precision and isochronism.

The self-winding HMC 814 runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and uses a bi-directional pawl winding system.

A fully skeletonised gold oscillating weight keeps the movement wound while preserving the transparency of the caseback view.

Power reserve is a minimum of 72 hours, which gives the watch a useful weekend buffer despite its complex and heavily openworked construction.

Alpine detailing without overbranding

The partnership element is strongest in the colour palette rather than in oversized logos or aggressive automotive cues.

That restraint matters because the Streamliner’s appeal comes from its fluid case and architectural movement, not from literal motorsport references.

The blue Alcantara strap pushes the Alpine connection further while keeping the watch light and informal on the wrist.

It closes with a black DLC-treated titanium pin buckle engraved with the Moser logo.

As part of the broader Alpine collaboration, this edition follows earlier Streamliner, Alpine Drivers and Alpine Mechanics pieces, but it occupies a different space.

It’s less about team-kit functionality and more about translating Alpine’s identity into Moser’s most contemporary high-complication platform.

Details & Specifications

The result is a Streamliner that doesn’t simply swap materials for novelty’s sake.

Its ceramic case, blue skeleton movement and flying tourbillon all work toward the same impression, giving Moser’s Alpine collaboration a sharper and more mechanically expressive flagship.
